Is this acceptable ZoS?? A Tuesday evening at 7pm and I was in a queue of 168 that took 80mins to finish? I was in TS with some of my guildies who actually logged off and went to play other games.

Its not acceptable , and unacceptable for us to wait another 3 weeks for it to be "fixed"

    That's the price you pay for playing with the dominant alliance.

    I play with AD in 30 day campaign. At the beginning I had long invite times as well but since it was clear that Shido wont win the campaign for AD and reds own the whole map with exception of a couple of hours in the evening when all alliances are full I never waited longer than 2 min. Mostly I simply stay there when I log out and I'am still in the cyro when I log in.

    Go to a campaign where your alliance sucks and can enter instantly :smile:

    Next patch a new 30 day campaign will be introduced, which should split the population of people who like the 30 day variant.

    Yesterday I had some minor bug causing my character to be invisible. I have noticed it tends to occur after bat swarm. In order to solve this issue I relogged only to find myself being kicked out of the server. Not the first time I have been sent from Cyro to some pve zone. To get back to pvp I waited in queue. Some minor frustation yet not enough to smash my head againts the wall.
    A is for Atronach.
    B is for Bungler's Bane.
    C is for Comberry.

    What would you have them do? Raise the amount of players allowed in a campaign at once? It's like this for two reasons; to prevent too many players on any single alliance, for balance reasons, and to prevent crashes and server overloads in busy, high population conflicts.

    If they raise the cap, you'll still have to wait. My suggestion to you is to either join another, lower population campaign, or wait it out.

    The most I've been/heard for DC on Thornblade is around 60. It usually doesn't take that long either. It would be really frustrating to come home to everyday. Sorry mate :(

    Any bugs, use Alt+F4 to crash the game, should put you back in Cyro, not always but mostly.

    I have to queue for over an hour every evening. I just cook and eat my tea and by the time I'm done I'm usually in Cyro. I know it's frustrating and ZoS does seem to be moving at a snail's pace to do something about it but we know they are and a change will come...

    I've never waited more then 10 minutes to join the campaign, then again I don't play on a campaign that is overwhelming stacked on my side.

    That seems like a long wait, however at least when you do get in you have someone to fight instead of 8 campaigns of PvDoor.

    Fortunately NA has two somewhat balanced campaigns that pop lock all three factions at night. If one has a long queue, you can just go to the other.

    Does "Travel to Player" not work anymore in Cyrodiil? If you had guildies in the campaign, that should have gotten you in quicker.

    Doesn't work if the campaign is full. There's other ways of getting in quicker, but it requires people already being in the queue sending you a group invite. Sort of like having a friend "saving a spot" irl and and everyone truly hates you while you're squeezing yourself a head of the entire queue.

    Anyway 2/3 campaigns have long queue times during peak hours. The only one without a queue is usually torture, fighting impulse trains heavily outnumbered.

    Another 30 day one will definitely be a much needed addition. Shouldn't have to wait 1-1,5 hour to join PvP. Many casual players dont have that much free gaming time on a weekday. Not that easy to just flip campaign either, you might already be invested in the current one together with guilds and friends.

    Can any of you make an addon for the countdown with a big buzzer for when it pops? Would be nice not to miss the notification if you are doing other rl stuff while waiting.

    It should be auto join the campaign i cant see the point of a notification pop up if you have been queued to get in.

    It's bloody obvious you want to enter the damn campaign.

    All of faction1 will go to the new one

    Faction 3 already has a buff server

    The cycle of life continues, poplocked vs 1 bar vs 1 bar.

    Some of the advice is laughable, quit zerging campaigns, don't be on a campaign that's heavily stacked. How about I want to play on a 30 day campaign as I went to celarus and it was *** . All the impulse wankers went to the other campaigns because they couldn't hack it on the 30 day campaign.
    A queue that long is unacceptable never mind play on the others, I pay for this ***.

    There is one called queuequeue.

    The whole '60 secs' thing does my head in. I've missed it sooooo many times. Hence installing queuequeue! :D

    Maybe you should have rolled DC. I never wait more than 5 minutes to get into NA Thornblade.
    The only substitute for victory is overkill.

    Glad to see my pleas fell on deaf ears. Well good for you you apparently have 2 hours to kill languishing in queue while there's servers in need of capable fighters suffering from hideous imbalance. Enjoy zergtown.

    i'm not sure what you think should be done... If they increase the queue caps the only thing that will happen is your side will have a 100+ more people while the other sides who don't have queues like that will be screwed. That's also a 100 more people lagging up the server all because you decided to zerg a campaign.

    if a 30 day campaign is all ya want.. wait till next patch, 2 will exist then.
